VKs Warbands

Not really a painting thread but I did paint a model this week, so--

The Shadowlord has gifted the mutant with Chaos Armor and a Great Claw so I had to upgrade.

Very nice!

While I LOVE the older version, the new manifestation does look like he packs more punch. VERY WELL DONE!  

Thanks for taking the time to comment gents.

Cool warband!! I like the horned guy and beastman, the possesseds looks truly bad and scary.

What model is the magister (i suppose it's him), i don't recognize it!

Thank you.

The Magister is an old chaos sorcerer.

Ever since I found a lance in the second or third game, I've been planning on adding a chaos knight type character. I assumed it would be one of the mutants, since they have the most chance of rolling skills...

So Herman Boering, who has failed a lot with the Shadow Lord, has still become sort of tough. So after a big win last week I gave him the Ride skill AND purchased a chaos steed (rare 11). I am working too much overtime to bash together a model so I pulled out my old Path to Glory Champion as a substitute:


Also I have been suffering the slings and blunderbusses of skaven and Reiklanders for the whole campaign. So when a hired sword decided to return a favor last week, I hired the Old Prospector from the Nemesis Crown campaign. I have a model done up for one, but I wanted something more chaotic. I settled for this WIP zombie pirate:

I am finally painting up the Orc Pyrates I started back when I joined this forum. Photos from playtable's phone (not likely to get better ones as folks have given up on cameras).

Hopefully more will be along (its getting harder to justify not having a phone with a camera...)

Nice one mate!

Really digging the gritty low fantasy look!

I'm a big fan of those GW orc models - some of the best they've done.

Thank you very much for the kind words.

My only quibble with these archers is that they are slightly bigger than the rank and file of the time. Other than that (and the mold lines) I love 'em!

These guys look great! They look like a menace to all opponents. Nice natural tones on the clothes to give that authentic orcy wear. I like the guy with the keg and stripey bandana in particular. Bet he's popular around the campfire!

OOH COOL STUFF! I missed seeing the Chaos Lads while I was on my road trip. Herman & The Moon Man are SPLENDIDLY imaginative pieces. AND the new Guys in Green are some of THE BEST minis I've seen you do. VERY WELL DONE all around!  

Thank you for the kind comments gents.

They are indeed a menace to all, including each other.

Thanks Al. Its good to get some paint on them after seven years of shuffling them around (and apparently ignoring these mold lines...)
